Weight Loss Tips

• Take in fewer calories than you expend. Few people understand this basic, simple concept.
  
• Eat smaller meals 3-5 times per day.
  
• Eat nutrient dense foods such as whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables.
  
• Eat slowly, and wait 10-15 minutes before taking second helpings.
  
• Don’t eliminate everything you like from your diet. Eat those things in small amounts (pizza, candy, cookies, etc.)
  
• Prepare healthy snacks that are easily available (cut carrots, apples, etc.)
  
• Avoid buffets.
  
• Drink plenty of water, especially immediately prior to meals.
